[Have a girl stepping onto the Astral Plane and looking around, one hand resting on her hip and the other on the straps of her book bag.]

Well, what's this? It doesn't look like home to me.

More like the sky on a clear night, but... [Mion glances down at the "floor", which looks exactly the same as the "sky" and she goes wide-eyed for a few seconds, before shaking her head.]

...

Hello? Is anyone else here?

[tilts her head] Are you new?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Depends. What is this place?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

This is called the Astral Plane. The Twins like to pull people in here.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Isn't that kind of like kidnapping?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Basically! Except we can leave here, so it's a weird form of kidnapping.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Huh. That is weird. I mean, people will wonder where you are, and you can just tell them where you went...

Wait, so how do we leave?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

You can tell them but only certain people can get here, so they might not believe you.

You just think about going back - [disappears and reappears] - and you do!

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Oh... Any idea why?

That's too eas— [now Mion disappears! And when she comes back, she's grinning like a Cheshire Cat.] Ah, easy.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[hands on her hips] The Twins are pretty...powerful. So I guess they can do whatever they want. And that includes making our friends unable to see them. But one of my friends can see them now, so who knows?

[grins back] There you go! Oh, I'm Fumie.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Well, that's unfair, isn't it? And this place seems so nice, too... [frowns]

And I'm Mion! Nice to meet you, Fuu-chan~

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

It's pretty nice but some of the people are kind of dangerous.

[blinks, then laughs] Mion? All right, nice to meet you, too! You're from Japan too?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[pouts at her from a bit of a distance] You're very loud, desu.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Dangerous? How so?

I am! Hinamizawa. Where are you from?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

[glances around before deciding to look at the ground, and sees Suiseiseki. What a cute little thing!] And you're lucky Rena isn't here~

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[quirks a brow] Who is that? And why should that matter, desu?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

[smile] A friend. And if she was here, you wouldn't be.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[lowers her voice slightly] Well, some people were murdered here. But the weird thing is that the Twins brought them back to life. So I guess death means less here.

Hinamizawa? I don't think I know it. I'm from Daikoku, though.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[eeeh?] W-what's that supposed to mean, desu?!

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

She'd take you home with her, like every other cute thing she sees.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

W-what...? [she's horrified] I-I-I don't belong to anyone, desu, especially not some stupid human! I all ready have a home with the little human, I'm not going anywhere!

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

M-murdered? And... they were brought back? [oh hi, murder = interesting subject.]

You said it was the Twins? Just what are they?

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

The little human?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[nods] My friend Akito was murdered and...my friend Sam, too. But it's okay. The Twins are really weird. I don't know what they are. They're pretty unnatural if you ask me.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Um...t-the human I live with, desu...h-he's my medium...

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

Do you know who did it?
